Don’t stress – here is a selection of dishes that are suitable to serve to all types of guests, from small fry to the in-laws, or even your partner’s boss! Check out these kid-friendly, sophisticated and casual meal plans.

Kid-friendly

If the children have friends over for a sleepover this Saturday night, try this ‘special occasion food’ menu to give them a thrill! (Make up for it on Sunday with a healthy eating day.)

Tasty wedges – share a bowl of these home-made potato snacks with sour cream and sweet chill sauce (if they like the taste).

Sophisticated

Do you feel a dinner party coming on? Why not go all out and make it a menu to really wow your guests? Perfect for having the in-laws over or impressing your partner’s boss – just make sure you factor in plenty of prep time.

Cauliflower and Stilton soup – more classy than a bowl of minestrone, but not too tricky to accomplish. Make in advance and warm before serving.
